About: I am a proud cat owner who has co-cared for all sorts of dogs over the years. From pitbulls to chihuahuas, I've been challenged and rewarded by all my furry friends. Apart from roommates and partners, I've also cared for many of my friends animals while they were out of town. One of whom (a dog) I had to administer medication orally. I am also comfortable with syringe applications. From a personality standpoint, I have a way with dogs that just comes naturally. I'd call it a commanding presence, although I can be a big softie, too. Always down for a cuddle! For both cats and dogs, know that I will give your pets time to adjust to my presence, aka let them come to me and give them space, so that I can foster a measure of trust between us. When walking your dog expect that I will be focused, confident and vigilant, keeping an eye out for any triggers your dog my have to outdoor stimuli. For every booking I accept there will be pictures provided as well as a detailed summary of our time together. Your pet's safety is my primary concern, so should anything abnormal occur you will be notified in a timely manner. Please leave information regarding diet, medications, general health info, behavioral issues, personality, and hiding spaces. When it comes to daily routine I'd like to keep things as close to their eveyday schedule as possible. Any information about your building, parking, lockbox location, or house rules would be great help. I'm always available to answer any questions you have, so feel free to contact me with any concerns via the Rover phone number provided. Thanks for wading through this with me. Can't wait to meet your special friends. ** Bonded and licensed via Pet Care Insurance (PCI) My best friend and roommate has an elderly cat I help her care for, so pet care is a daily commitment for me. Your pets will receive the same love and care. I am on the job hunt and a DC transplant, so I have a pretty open schedule at the moment and a healthy desire to explore the area with your pups. I am not accepting stays at the moment, but at your residence I intend to give the same care and attention you would. Please let me know of your daily routine, their favorite toys/games, and sociability level. My aim is to build a foundation of trust with your animals and have a safe, fun time together.

About: Hey, I’m Ross. I’ve been dog and cat sitting in the St. Louis area for the last 8 years. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and demeanors including all kinds of doodle mixes (big and small), Boston Terriers, Labradors, Chihuahuas, Gold Retrievers, Jack Russell Terriers, Great Pyrenees, Bulldogs, and many more. Most of my experience has been staying at my client’s houses for a few days up to a few weeks, doing middle-of-the-day check-ins, and doing some dog walks. I’ve been the preferred dog / cat sitter for a family of veterinarians for the last 8 years. They’ve had up to five dogs and a cat at one time. My long-time girlfriend and I also share our home with our beloved cat, Appa. My approach is to stick to my client’s pets’ routines as closely as possible and to have fun! Ultimately, the most important thing is keeping your pet safe, healthy, and comfortable, all the rest is just having a good time with your pet friends. I love getting outside, getting my steps in on long walks, and playing fetch, tug-of-war, chase the ping pong ball or whatever is your pet’s jam. Whenever I’m unable to pet sit for my clients, they often muse that it’s hard to find someone else trustworthy to look after their pets. I build trust by doing what I say I will, communicating frequently and consistently, asking questions (and being an active listener), and treating people’s pets like they’re my own. After all, I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I want my clients to feel like their pet sitter cares (close to) as much as they do. I have a fully remote job so I can work anywhere with an internet connection. The job offers a high level of flexibility and allows me to take periodic breaks throughout the day to tend to any of your pet's needs if I'm staying at your home. I'm also open to walks or check-ins on weekends or after 5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Typically, I stay overnight in my client's homes when they are out of town. I closely read and adhere to all instructions provided. If at all possible, I'll stick to the same routine that your pet is used to. I tend to error on the side of caution when encountering other dogs or people and avoid interactions until I know the pet well and know how they'll react.
